论治理范式转型中的政府绩效评估

当代的政府绩效评估涉及政府治理过程的范式转变,如由过去的政府导向向民众导向转变、由技术导向向战略导向转变、由对程序负责向对结果负责转变等等,但在我国的学术界和政府管理实践领域都存在为评估而评估的倾向,缺乏政府绩效评估与治理过程相结合角度的考察。要从变革传统政府治理模式的高度审视政府绩效评估,把绩效评估作为政府再造的一个利器、实现政府职能转变和建设和谐社会的战略工具、建设民主行政的一个重要途径,相应地,实行组织再造,推动政府组织机能的变革等,方能达到良好的效果。     

Regulatory regimes and accountability

This research considers accountability issues for new forms of regulation that shift the emphasis from prescribing actions to regulating systems or regulating for results. Shortfalls at various levels of accountability are identified from experiences with these regimes in the regulation of building and fire safety, food safety and nuclear power plant safety. These experiences illustrate how accountability shortfalls can undermine regulatory performance and introduce a potential for subtle forms of regulatory capture. These concerns underscore the importance of finding the right fit between regulatory circumstances and the design of regulatory regimes.     

政绩观的扭转与绩效评估的推进

文章通过在我党执政过程中,政绩观由不自觉到自觉,由正面积极价值到反面消极价值,再由形而上学趋向科学等一系列起伏转变的描述,引发了对我国行政体制、选用人机制、文化管理等若干方面改革的思考;以对形而上学政绩观和科学政绩观的特征描述为基础,分析了它们存在的条件以及由前者转为后者的路径;通过探讨政绩观与绩效评估之间的关系,指出坚持科学的政绩观是开展绩效评估的前提,绩效评估的正确开展有助于科学政绩观的彻底确立,绩效评估本身则是一具有规模性前途的市场。

Public Enterprise Reforms and Financial Performance of Government Commercial Companies of Fiji

Public enterprise reform is no new phenomenon. Since the late 1970s, state intervention in the market has been increasingly challenged, acquiring a more ideological form with the rise of ultra-conservative governments in the UK and USA. Like other countries across the world, Fiji has also attempted to reform its public enterprises. This article compares the performance of corporatized public enterprises that sit at different levels of financial performance. Such enterprises have experienced reforms but with mixed financial outcomes. Overall, the major finding of this research is that there is no single factor that can lead to better or poor financial performance.     

Auditee Strategies: An Investigation of Auditees’ Reactions to the Norwegian State Audit Institution’s Performance Audits

This article contributes to theory on accountability—how it is played out and responded to. It uses the Norwegian State Audit Institution as an illustration. The responses of the audited entities to the SAI’s institutional pressure were identified through an analysis of four different cases. Four auditee strategies were identified. They indicate that the performance audit has impact when the auditees agree with the conclusions of the SAI. Sanctions from the control committee and the Parliament are equally important. Even though the extent of sanctions and conflict of opinion matter for the auditees’ responses, the effects are context dependent.     

Are Changes Effective in Performance Management? An Analysis of Japanese Agencies

Agencies are key organizations for implementing and studying performance measurement and management (PMM). This article explores the implementation and effect of PMM in Japanese agencies. In Japan, design of the agency system included New Public Management elements, such as independence and delegation of powers, but also traditional ones, with a strong system of controls. The discourse about the soundness and ambitions of the PMM system permeated the agencies but not so much their effort toward PMM. The performance improvement attained by agencies depends on their agency characteristics, organizational culture, and organizational factors, with a remarkable influence of the organizational culture.
